What's On Tonight (Sunday): Now leaving Grimsburg

Grimsburg

Here we go again! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, May 12!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of Grimsburg (Fox, 9:30 p.m. / Hulu, Monday). The animated comedy is about brilliant detective Marvin Flute, who is back in Grimsburg, a town where everyone has many secrets. But Flute, voiced by Jon Hamm, is unable to understand his family. It's not a good series, but it wasn't terrible, which is what I kinda expected. Hamm is a strong voice actor. A second season is already on the way.

Elsewhere, the Vampire Interview resumes, The Simpsons dislike tipping, there's a new trainee at the Beacon, Tracker reads, the Sympathizer gets to recruiting, it's antiques death show in Vegas, Naked and Afraid goes XL again, and Friends are Smiling again.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
